n,:l France, is the same : and we tletefore repeat, that - the law which best attains that purpose, is of necessity the wisest. The English law of arrest is much modi fied by the privilege of giving bail, and by limiting the right of arrest to persons having demands beyond the value of 101., but which we hope soon to see advanced o 201. These modifications have removed a large portion of the severity of the law, and it seems to us, that so long as the right to arrest is at all given, the English is as mild as it can be consistent with its ob ject, and that first requisite of every law—efficacy and three. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE is a caustic old critic,' and frequently delights the public by the originality of his conservations, founded on practical experience of men ;and manners, as delineated on that public stage---the notorious hoards of Bow-street, which alternately echo to' the agonising stamp of shame—the laugh able caper of frivolity—or the solemn adjuration of a drunken watchman invoking the spirits of the midnight dungeon to attest the truth of his rascality. Not a " loose fish," or stray bird gets into that net, but feels the frown of justice borrowing con victing wrath from the brow of the Chief Magistrate, who denounces iniquity with a glance, and whistles off hypocrisy with a smile, as bitter as a dose of :Epsom salts—and as ghastly as the last look of .ROGER DODSWORTH. But the high merit of his Worship is chiefly distinguished in giving directions to his " men of office in their voyages of discovery, `►herein he inimitably illustrates the maxim of setting a thief to catch a thief. In our paper of this day will be found a sample of this generalship with reference to an expeditio n into Kent—that happy home of hops tin si smuggling, where an officer is directed to look after some itinerant gin and brandy merchants, who forgot to take out a _ travelling licence. The worthy MaEistrate, in direc tions to the officer, very iron;„„fly tells him to get his warrant backed by a C0u...,,ty Magistrate, but to beware of the Magistrates of tie Cinque Ports, lest his objec t should be thwarted 'by information to the enemy, for he no doiAt ,spected that there might be honour among 'murders as well as thieves. Indeed, he knew '.hat the Chief Magistrate in one of these re "Pt Ades of evil spirits had given information to the I 6 A of one who had often called them from the vasty `Jeep, that her husband would improve his health by availing himself of a trip to Holland, and thereby .eiljoy the f ree d om o f t h e f res h a i r. T he h i nt was as 'effectual as his Worship's interrogative, when the sea -is rather rough, and the culprit refuses to answer a Question conclusive of his destiny. The County Ma gistrates of Kent are « most of them honourable men," but not so the smugglers of the Cinque Ports, whose morals have been rather tainted by the free use of strong waters. We think it a great pity they are not "all--all honourable men,"that they may thus escape the sweeping vengeance of dishonour, which must attach to them from the judgment-seat of Bow-street. But all things have their day—the Cinque Ports' Magistrates 'in condemnin g the preventive guard, and his Worship in denounci ng the Cinque Port smugglers. We won der how ',tie Warden of th e Ci nque Ports will relish the stro- Ag spirit here displayed against his worshipful representatives, whom even lawless men admire, and thark at the successful conclusion of their labours.— B.

The Lord Steivard, rfi 'y-!'l Mess, took his seat at ,an early hour this day, in the long gallery, when he proceeded to swear in the members of the House of Cornmonl. Secretary Canning, Mr. Secretary, Peel', Sir. It. the Attorney-General, M. trOkden, Aldermen Wood, Waithman, Mr. Ward, and about one hundred other mem bers were swortr, At two O'ClOck the Lord Chancellor entered the House of LOttiB, and soon after his Lordship, with Lords Liver pool, liarrowby, the Duke of Wellington, and the Earl of Westmoreland, took their seats on the woolsack, in robes, as Lords Commissioners. Lord Digby, Lord Carrington, Earl Clifden, the Bishop of Durham, and several other Peers were present. The Usher of the Black Rod was then ordered to de sire the attendance of the Commons at the Bar. Soon after about fifty Members of the House of Com mons, conducted by Mr. Sturges Bourne, appeared at the Barg and the Lord Chancellor having said it had been his Majesty's gracious pleasure to summon a new Parliament, the Clerk was ordered to read the Royal Commission, which was done with the usual formalities. • The LORD CHANCELLOR then addressing the Members of the House of Commons stated, that as soon as the Members of both Houses were assembled, His Majesty would intimate the reasons which induced him to call upon Parliament to assemble at this period, prepara tory to which, it was his Majesty's gracious pleasure, that the Members of the House- of Commons, should retire to that place, where they were in the custom of meeting there to appoint a fit and proper persson as Speaker, which person they were to ►ntroduce to-morrow in that House, to receive his Majesty's gracious approba tion. The Members of the House of Commons then retired. The Duke of Wellington, Lord Bexley, and some other Peers, afterwards took the oaths, and their Lordships ad journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS. At two o'clock about two hundred Members were as sembled,amongst whom we noticed Mr. Secretary Canning, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Hume, and a number of other distinguished Members. At half-past two the attendance of the Commons was desired in the Lords, and several members retired. ELECTION OF A SPEAKER. On the return of the Members of the House of Commons, Mr. STURGES BOURNE rose, for the purpose of proposing the election of a Speaker. After dwelling upon the great importance of the office of Speaker, the Right Honourable Gentleman eulogized the talents and the uniform diligence of the Right Honourable Gentle man, who had filled their chair. He appealed to the recol lection of those Gentlemen who, in any business in which they were engaged, who had occasion to consult him, whether in every instance he did not display a more than ordinary abi lity, as well as willingness to convey the information required.? He had made himself endeared to every Member of the House by his uniform courtesy, and his splendid and dignified hospitality._.. He had, moreover, maintained their rights and privileges, by ea forcing the observance of the rules and orders of the House, upon which their rights and privileges so mainly depended, and by 60 doing• had preserved the privileges of the people, which were inseparable from those of Parliament. After the undivided opinions dike House had been twice expressed in favour of the Right Hon. Gentleman, he anticipated no opposition to the motion which he would now sub mit, namely, that the Right Honourable Charles Manners Sutton do take the chair of that House.—(Cheers.) Mr. PORTMAN, after enforcing the claims of the Right Hon. Gentleman, expressed his hope that the House would come to an unanimous decision in his election. To those Gentlemen who had during two Parliaments witnessed his conduct in the Chair, it must be unnecessary to say any thing, and equally need less was it to address those gentlemen who now, for the first time, took their seats, on a subject: on which every English gentleman must be well informed. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by seconding the motion. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON then rose to return thanks, and expressed his deep sense of the obligation which was conferred on him by the House. To be elevated to the Ckair of that House was the fink object of his life, and should ever continue so ; but he could assure the House, that above all others it was his object to_ justify, their , choice, - $Ol. a faithful and spirited discharge of the duties of the situation to which they had elevated him. The testimony borne by the House to his humble endeavours, by their appointment of him to serve as their Speaker in three Successive Parliaments, was the proudest reward which any exertions of his could ever receive. The difficulties and duties of the ofiji•e of Speaker, had been properly adverted to by both his Hon. friends. He could never hope to discharge those duties, and surmount those difficul ties, if it were not for the assistance, support, and indulgence, which his experience in two successive Parliaments led him to hope he would he again favoured with. With these sentiments of grati tude and respect, he would cheerfully submit himself to the judg ment and decision of the House. The Speaker was then ted to the chair by Mr. S. Bourne and Mr. Portman, and having taken his seat he again respectfully ac knowledged the honour conferred on him, and pledged himself to exert his zeal and his ability to the utmost to justify the choice which the House bad made in a manner so flattering to him. Mr. W. WYNN, in rising to propose the adjournment of the House, congratulated it on the choice that had been made. --He also congratulated the SPEAKER, who had this day conferred on him the highest honour which a subject could receive, and in a manner as flattering to him as it was honourable to the House. Sir JOSEPH YORKE, in rising to second the motion for ad journ►nent, concurred in all that had been said, and hoped that the House in its future choice of Officers, would meet with a man of as much integrity as the present Speaker. The House then adjourned. The Members of the House of Commons were all in undress, except the City Members, who appeared in their robes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.IIOUSE.....(TIIIS DAT.) Captain Robert Sinclair appeared to answer a charge of assault, prams(' against him by Wm. Bull, the father of a lad who, from blows inflicted on him by the Captain, is in so dangerous a state as to be unable to attend at the Justice-room. John Dadicot was a clerk to a wine merchant, in Water-lane; on the evening of Saturday last, as he was walking through Trinity Square, his attention was attracted to what he presumed to be a fair fight. The Captain was one of the persons fighting, he got the best of his antagonist, and, after throwing him, struck him on the ground. The bystanders called out, " Shame, shame," and the young man, Wm. Bull, came forward and interfered. The Captain then struck him and beat him in the most brutal manner. The lad ran away, and was pursued by the Captain. On witness coming up with them on the other side of the square, the lad's face was all blood. Win. Street, a watchman of the Tower Hamlets Division, corroborated this evidence, and said, that the lad, on being pur sued by the Captain, was either pushed or fell against the rail ings, which was the cause of the wound on his head. The Loan MAYOR said that it was his fluty to commit the Captai n to Giltspur-street prison, where be would have every possible attention paid. He would recommend hint to send a respectable surgeon to see the lad, and if he could swear that he was out of danger perhaps he then might be inclined to admit hire to bail.

RECORDER'S REPORT v. WELLESLEY'S JUDOSIENT. His LORDSHIP wished Mr. Hart and Mr. Shadwell to commu nicate to their respective clients that he felt hound to postpone giving judgment in Mr. Wellesley's case until Monday, on the ground that Saturday was the day that had been appointed for the Recorder to make his report to his Majesty; and, as there were no leas than the fates of forty capital convicts to be disposed of on that day, every moment of time his Lordship should be able pos sibly to apply to any thing at home, from this moment till then, would have to be devoted to what ought to be the important re sult of that day. ICING OF SPAIN AND OTHERS V. HACHARDO Alm OTHERS. This case came on to be argued upon a demurrer pled to the bill, and upon a motion to discharge an interlocutory order, direct ing a trial at law. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and Messrs. SHADWILL and WHEATLEY appeared for the plaintiffs. The bill was filed by the King of Spain and two persons as his Attornies in this country, and the substance of it was this, that a large sum (not less than 81,0001.) had been paid by the Government of France into the hands of Mr. Macbardo. as representing the King of Spain, to be paid by the Spanish Government to persons who had received injuries from France ; that Mr. Machardo had had the money in his hands as trustee; that Mr. Mendizabel had got bills accepted by the Cortes, in respect of which lie claimed to withdraw the money out of Mr. Machardo's hands; that the latter acceded to this arrangement, and then the charge was, that Macbardo and Mendizabel had collected together, to have their money with drawn from its legitimate purposes, and the proceed s concerte dl y applied to their joint use and benefit. They understood the grounds of demurrer were, that the King of Spain was improper ly joined with the other two plaintiffs ; that his Majesty could not sue by himself and his attornin ; and that if the proposition was not tenable then, that there was a total want of equity. The Learned Gentleman contended that the ease was a very common one, which, being simplified, was, that A. paid into the hand of B. money for a particular purpose, which B. colluded with C. to misapply, by B.'s allowing C. improperly to obtain possession of the money; and therefore the plaintiffs sought to restrain the proceeding at law, and to have the property put into their own hands. They could not suppose that the Court would for an in-. stant consider the bill untenable. His Loanstur observed, that he had understood from Mr. Sugden, that this was a very amusing bill, but he had read it without finding any thing like amusement in it. The question seemed to be, whether the money had not got into the Court of Common Pleas, under circumstance, under which it might as well have been paid into the hands of Mr. Mendizabel. Mr. SHADWILL said, the statement was, that Mr. Mendizabel had arrested Mr. Machardo for 81,0001. ; that that sum, (alleged to belong to the Spanish Government) had been paid to the Sheriff, and through him into the Court of Common Pleas ; that the parties had been ordered to proceed to trial respecting it ; but that the action had been brought by concert between these two gentlemen. and that Mr. lllagtanlo had neither meta*, oar weeki wai that victim, as if-is Aaci basis brought by an entire stranger, having an interest adverse to M. Ifsobatikt, and without knowing of the trust. Under these circumstances he had not a doubt that the Court would bold the bill sustainable. Mews. Summits and WAKEFIELD appeared for Mr. Mend& übel. They thought the anomie' of the King had no more right to the money than the mernt stranger. There had been Boards appointed for the distribution.of the property (portion of which this 8 I ,000/. was) which had been paid under the convention added to the treaty of peace, ratified at Paris, between the French and Spanish Governments, and if those boards had wished to withdraw the sum, they ought to have themselves appeared here, but the King himself had no title to it whatever. Mr. Mendizabel, there fore, submitted that he had a clear right to insist upon obtaining possession of this money in respect of the bills already mentioned, which had been given to be viswered by, this fund, for the stores he had supplied to the Cortes. His Loansntr was quite sure, from the researches he had made through the papers, that the demurrer could not be sus tained, on the ground of the alleged general want of equity ; there was ample equity stated on [the face of the bill. Whether the demurrer could be upheld on the grounds that the plaintiffs were improper persons, or that the defendants had been improperly made parties, he was not quite so dear. He would, however, give the subject his consideration till Thursday, and then make known the result of it. The Counsel for the plaintiffs had taken no notice of the motion. This had been probably enough passed Over on their side of the bar; because, if the Court finally de cided that on no ground could the demurrer be sustained, argu ments on the motion, this morning, would probably have been thrown away. ABSENCE OF COUNSEL. MS LORDSHIP had to complain bitterly to-day of the inconve nience arising in this Court from want of the regular attendance of Counsel. He said, every Court in Westminster Hall insisted upon regularity of proceeding, by the continual attendance of Counsel ; that regularity had been carried on to the great incon venience of this branch of the Court of Chancery, because Counsel presuming on being excused for non-attendance here, and which excuse they were sure they could not get elsewhere, were quite indifferent about attending ; but he begged distinctly this day to state, once for all, that he would not submit on any acconnt to a continuance of such treatment, and that therefore he should unquestionably strike out every case that might be called on, in which counsel might not be present or prepared. It was the duty of atturnics to have their counsel in Court, when the cases in which they were came on, and if one counsel would not attend, they might find another who would. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.--(Tnie DAY.) MELLOR V. FRAHM/Z. This was an action brought against the defendant, to recover the amount of his subscription towards the making of a turnpike road. It was tried at York, at the last Assizes, before Mr. Jus tice Park, and a verdict given for the plaintiff, damages so!. Mr. Joust WILLIAMS moved this clay for a rule to show cans* why the verdict should not be set aside. The agreement ha said, upon which the action was founded was worded as follows : " We, the undersigned, agree to subscribe the respective sums annexed to our names, for the purpose of carrying into execution a projected line of a new turnpike -road front Halifax to Hudders field, &c." The Learned Counsel observed, that an Act of Parliament was ' passed to enable the auhscribers to carry this projected road into effect; but the line was thereby so completely changed, that no more than one third of the original line to which the defendant subscribed was included. Under these circumstances, he sub mitted that his client ought not to be bound by a contract totally different from that to which he subscribed. --Rule granted. CRIMINAL INFORMATION --THE AGE. Mr. Scaiscrn moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be sled against Richard Downing Richards, sole proprietor and publisher of The Age newspaper, for having published a libel on Lord Glengall. His Lordship, he observed, bad done all that man could do to deny the matter contained in this libel, which was as follows 1.-- 4, I t w i ll probably have appeared somewhat extraordinary to many penpk, that hitherto no reference has been made by us to a circumstance which has in several instances been introduced in some other journals; we allude to the enquiry stated to have been held by th e o ffi cers of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, to ascertain the truth of a report Which has affixed the autboreltiP o f t hi s Journ a l 00 t h e L or d Wm.

In the emit of ltd potty attacks Upon tie, have been mixed up some df the most abusive apt- ciniens of biacigtiardism on record, against several noblemen and I gentlemen of distinctid: To the whole of these Lord Glengall hat been not only privy, but has assisted in their circulation. To all theta parties, then, who have been so maligned, it this Lord amenable; and if any of them feel disposed to follow his Lordship's example, and institute any kind of inquiry, we pledge mikes to stand forward, and give ample testimony of what we have asseited... Many months since, when a private enquiry respecting this lin-- putation on Lord William Lennox, was held at the residence of's mutual friend, at which Glengall was present, the mention of any such assemblage was positively forbid, yet the following Sunday, an account of the same appeared in his Lordship's paper, contrary to all understanding, all etiquette, and all honour. But it is no matter of surprise that Lord Glengall could not be trite to his friends—he cannot be se to himself—for an offer having beets made to him this last week, to attend the adjourned Court of Enquiry, and his Lordship having intimated his intention of being present, with a wish that the persons who were at the above named private meeting, should also be at this, he has shown this correspondence to every one he meek, and from one of his particular friends, we yesterday heard the whole of it. We have little cloak at this moment of writing, but some notice of this will be given in his Lordship's paper of this day, and if it sh ou ld, it w ill operate as additional conclusive evidence; both in London and Southampton, at the office of the Herald paper, in that town. Lord Glengall has been in continual converse with a rascally sweep by the name of Molloy, who is now getting a few shillings a week for scraping together the false hoods of the town, for his expiring periodical, and will continue to do so until he is kicked from its service, as he has been from every other journal he ever stole into the secrets of. Does this dirty Lord then imagine that a man, acknowledged to be the greatest liar in England, will be for a moment listened to among a set of distinguished military gentlemen even If he had any thing to advance, or, that in the next place, the scrutiny which he has been instrumental in drawing upon another, will not be visted hereafter upon himself. As far as Lord W. Lennox is concerned, it is to its a matter of perfect indifference whether he be tried, condemned, or even executed. With all Lard Glen gall's tact, we should presume William Lennox is about his equal, and, weighed together, we cannot imagine there is a grain of difference between them, either in genius, courage, or general at tainments. Whatever may he permitted to be known of this inquiry, we shall of comae submit to the public, and if we don't, my Lord Glengall will circulate it in the few copies he has pre vailed upon people to take of his paper ; and that once done, we shall direct a more general attention to the presumptuous conduct of this blinking puppy, who, not satisfied with traducing every woman's character in whose presence he may once have the hap piness to be, maligns his best friends in a public paper, and, when the tables arc turned on his Lordship by persons of whom he has no knowledge, and who only Bit in judgment on his public department, he has the unparalleled assurance to bully one person, beg another's pardon, fight a third, and wind up by making the whole affair a subject of regimental Court of Inquiry." The libel having been read, the Learned Counsel said, that Lord Glengall denied connection with the paper alluded to, and had stated in his affidavit that he had no connection whatsoever with any sweep of the name of Molloy ; but he acknowledges that he had employed a person named Charles hfolloy Westmacott to find out the author of the scurrilous attacks on his Lordship's re putation, which have at several times appeared in that paper. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEASI(Tim DAY.) BROWN Y. BROWN. This action, which was tried before the Chief Justice Bur, at Guildhall, was instituted at the instance of the plaintiff, as as signee of Walter Branscomb, an attorney, who became insolvent for 1,0561., as the balance arising in favour of Branscomb, in ac count for the defendant, the Jury found for the plaintiff. In March or April, IBM the defendant became bankrupt, and some time subsequently, at a meeting of his creditors for proving their deb* Branseomb appeared, and put in his claim far the sum men- tinned'; but the other Creditors immediately objected to it, on tbs. ground that the debt was incurred After the defendant bad committed au act of bankruptcy which they alleged llranecon►b knew. Branscomb, however, denied any knowledge of it, and the defendant himself stated at the locating that it was alien! elle., for Branscomb, as the debt was justly due to him. The Commis sioners, however, rejected the claim. The defendant and Brans comb deposed to:the above effect at the trial; but one Henley, who was intimately acquainted with both parties, was examined; and deposed that the defendant to his knowledge frequently kept from his home in 'order to avoid the arrests of his creditors. On one occasion; in particular, he was in Edgeware-road, out of the way, where he consulted the witness and Branscomb upon the state of his affairs, and Branseomb must consequently have known the act of bankruptcy. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN this day moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that Henley's evidence ought not to be relied upon, because * long time intervened between the time he alleged the act of bankruptcy was committed, and the time at which he was examined, when the whole matter was cleared up by the dis cussion in this case, and his evidence must have been formed from it to suit his own purposes. Besides his testimony was flatly con tradicted by the defendant himself and Branscou►b, the latter having in particular pointedly denied the interview in Edgeware road, sworn to by Henley. The Loan Com Jusr►Cs stated, that at the trial he put it to the jury which of the parties they believed, and they believed Henley's evidence, tind for his part, he was of the same opiniort, and even now on a review of the whole case, he did not see any reason for altering it. —Rule refused. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT —Tilts Dav.) Henry Thurtell (brother of the late John Thurtell of exalt ed notoriety), was brought up this morning to be heard on his petition. Previous to his arrest he was Master at Arms, of the Warren Hastings, East Indiaman, and was now brought up from the Marshalsea prison. Ile was unopposed, and nothing particular transpired on his examination, except some interest he had in the affairs of his late brother. The appearance of this man was that of a good-natured hardy Sailor, With the most open and candid manner. He was declared entitled to the benefit of the Act, and ordered to be discharged forthwith, as were also, the following—Alexander Jacobs, Spitalfields, fur-cap-maker ; Valen tine Musson, Walworth, dealer ; Wm. Morein, Uxbridge, tea dealer; Robert Leese, Commercial-road, hawker ; George Thompson, jun., Regent's-park, horse-dealer ; Henry Josephs ; Robert Rouse, Leigh-street, Burton Crescent, fishmonger; Wil liam Goodeve, and John Jackson. James Marsh, milk-deilee, was opposed, and his case adjourned till Saturday week, to amend his schedule. Isaac Guthrie, of Bagnigge-wells, cabinet-maker, was opposed by Mr. Pollock on behalf of Mr. Bullock. Mr. Heath was retained by the insol vent. The latter exhibited a great deal of levity in the course of hi s examination, and being asked a question by the Commissioner, turned from the Court in a very consequential manner. Mr. Commissioner BovEtt—Turn this way, Sir; you seem to think yourself in a very meritorious situation. H e then conducted himself in a more decent manner, and was sent back to amend his schedule.

The Virginia University, lately founded by Mr. Jef ferson, contains two novelties, a Professorship of the Principles of Government, and a Professorship of the Anglo-Saxon Language. A silver cradle, an odd kind of perquisite, is said to belong to the Lord Mayor of London whose lady may produce him an infant during his mayoralty : if this be correct, Lady Venables gained the' prize just an hour before his Lordship relinquished his title of Right Honourable. —Literary Chronicle. DRUB Mr. WaHack appeared last night as Young Norval, in Rome's masterly tragedy of Douglas. The part, however, is ill adapted for his genius, which does not, in any instance, soar above the second-rate. Accordingly, he was only respectable, whi c h pro b a bl y might have been in order to keep his father (Mr. Cooper) Old Norval, in countenance, who made a very exemplary old man, in the not uncom mon attributes of age, dullness, and vacuity of intellect. Mr. Bennet's Glenalvon was an animated performance, but to those who remember Kean in the same character, it must have failed of effect. The Lady Randolph of Mrs. W. West, was as tame as her heroines are usually apt to be; she seems to think that sentiment consists in rant; whereas it is solely in the unobtrusive pathos of her sorrow that woman's power consists. Let her take a hint from Mrs. Simian at the other house, whose Camilla in the new tragedy, is impressive from the very stillness of its fea sibility. The house was unusually empty, a circumstance not to be wondered at, when we refer to the play bills, past, present, and to come; and see what have been, and are to be the performances and the performeri at the Theatre. Verily, brother Jonathan, this will never do !! Mr. Price, the Lessee of Drury-Lane, is proceed ng to abolish what is termed the Order System, and ,0 a certain extent, we are disposed to agree with him n its necessity, inasmuch as it will render the corn- Noy visiting the Theatre more select.
